Im having some race wheels built up... with ALienation 440 rims... and the question I need answered is ... Im having a black front rim.. and on the rear should I go for
a black rim
a black rim with machined sidewall
or a chrome rim
also - would a ProperBike Co 36 hole sealed front hub be ok for racing? what do you think? I'll be runing a v brake - so am thinking machined sidewall black rim might be best?

Personally, I'd go for 2 black rims.
Are you building up a new school race bike Steve? Be good to see you at some of the races.

So do you think a rear machined sidewall best, or just plain black?

Both rims all black. Let the brake pads do the machining
Or go for machined walls front and rear if you want matching.

Just watch the axle length on the front hub,as freestyle hub axles are usually longer than those on race hubs.You don`t want an axle that looks wack on a tasty racebike!
